On mailman2 .... I'd like to inhibit the storage of attachments in the archives.
Is there a global option to inhibit this?
Thanks.

No. You can use content filtering to remove them, but if you want them to remain in list mail they will also be in the archives.

Since I am suppressing the generation of Archives globally....would it be ok to periodically remove these attachment directories and files left in the archive directory for each mailing list?

If you don't care about the fact that links in the archive and plain digests that point to these files will be broken, there's no other issue.
But, what do you mean by "suppressing the generation of Archives globally"? If you are not archiving, these files/directories will only be created for attachments scrubbed from plain format digests, and I suppose you could also make your lists not digestable to avoid that too.

I've disabled Archives and Digesting via the global settings previously communicated in an earlier email here on the list.
Thus I don't think there would be any links to anything in this scenario.

So you've removed ToArchive and ToDigest from the global pipiline in which case, nothing should be creating anything in the archives/private/ hierarchy so there should be nothing to remove.

Hmmm....I think that you are probably correct.
I checked the date of the files involved and they date back to when I was doing the initial install and testing.
So I just deleted all the "attachment" directories in the archives area as there was only index.html files in there otherwise.
